Chapter 327 Hind Hand
Li Jiancheng and the others launched a general attack, defending one side, and the pressure naturally increased greatly, just when the horn sounded, Zou Yu naturally discovered this situation, not to mention that the telescope clearly saw the enemy rushing in all directions. Xi Junmai, with lightly injured soldiers, also rushed to the front camp with the most pressure.
"Signal!" Zou Yu pressed his impulsive mind and ordered.
"Whoa!" A guard answered loudly, and then ran to the side excitedly, picked up a torch that had already been lit, and lit three piles of wolf smoke on the ground.
Wolf smoke! It is lit by wolf dung and firewood, or other animal dung, because its smoke goes straight to the sky and the wind does not disperse, so it is an effective means of long-distance warning.
These three piles of wolf smoke were prepared a long time ago, and after they were lit, three thick smokes rose into the sky, and Zou Yu didn't look at the result, and took his three thousand heavy armor guards to kill them too.
After three consecutive days of high-intensity operations, even if Luo Shixin, Pei Yuanqing and others still felt a little tired because they had been rushing to the front line, especially when the general offensive was launched, the pressure was still relatively high, but fortunately, thanks to them, they held the second line of defense and did not retreat.
Three thousand heavily armored guards, with the sound of iron armor rubbing during the run, rushed over majestically.
Not to mention three thousand people, even if there are dozens or hundreds of people, launching a charge at the same time gives people a very strong sense of oppression, not to mention people wearing heavy armor. Think about it, in the face of a group of strong men rushing over with their weapons held high, people's first reaction must be to be startled, or even dodge.
The heavy armor soldiers are selected elites, all of them are tall and big, all of them are strong men from Liaodong, dressed like tin cans, real invulnerability, recuperating for two days, rushing into the crowd, like a tiger going down the mountain, waving weapons and slashing with a brush.
It was really a man on his back, not to mention that it was all foot soldiers, whether it was a shield or a weapon, all of them were cut down.
Cutting down one person at a time, a moment of effort, is tens of thousands of casualties, the original defenders, seeing such a fierce reinforcements, suddenly morale boosted, immediately counterattacked.
On the other side, when the wolf smoke rose, the cavalry that was originally hidden behind the mountain also rushed out, and a thousand heavy armored cavalry, led by Wei Chi Jingde.
Coming out from behind the mountain, he immediately killed the crowd at the foot of the mountain, and when the iron horse came from the ground, and a huge vibration sounded, Li Shenfu's face couldn't help but change. He was familiar with military affairs, but how could he not know that a large group of cavalry had arrived, and it was impossible for his own cavalry to come to the front diagonally. When I saw the heavy armored cavalry, I was already dead, and at this time, it was the time for the whole army to attack, and it was too late to form a defense, and the foot soldiers could not stop the iron cavalry.
20,000 foot soldiers, in front of a thousand iron horsemen, he couldn't think of any other possibility except to be hunted.
"You guys go quickly, please be careful, the enemy must be more than this!" Li Shenfu said to the remaining three sons with an ugly face.
"Father!" The three shouted in unison.
"Get out of here!" Li Shenfu didn't wait for them to speak, and immediately roared at the three brothers.
In the distance, the iron cavalry was already beginning to slaughter the soldiers, and the enemy, who had been retreated to the halfway point of the mountain, also began to counterattack, and if it was delayed, it would not be easy to leave. That's why Li Shenfu was so excited.
understood that his father was saving the three of them, and at the same time preventing them from carrying the reputation of escaping, so he let them leave, and the three brothers had to leave first.
In fact, there is no need for him to report, Li Jiancheng has already found out that the situation is wrong, because he knows that Su Dingfang has cavalry, so his cavalry has not been used, and when he saw the wolf smoke, he had already asked people to find where the cavalry appeared.
Zou Yu also expected this, because Li Jiancheng could not have no cavalry at all, and he had not used it, needless to say, he was guarding himself. So he divided the five thousand cavalry into two and attacked the enemy in the left and right camps.
The four thousand cavalry of the left battalion, coming from a distance, had just killed and scattered some of the men and horses attacking the camp, and Li Jiancheng's cavalry had already arrived.
Luo Cheng is the leader of the troops, and his task is to break the enemy! Kill the pawns, and then fight the cavalry, that is without hesitation, and there is no retreat.
Zou Yu divided the cavalry into two, which Li Jiancheng did not expect, after all, the opponent was detailed, and he knew something, but the order had been issued, and the cavalry had already fought together, and it was already a little late to change the combat order.
Li Shenfu had to be saved, and his right side could not afford to lose, otherwise when Li Shenfu's side was completely defeated, Li Shentong in the middle would be flanked.
The last 3,000 cavalry, originally stayed to protect themselves and protect the people of the main camp, and personally took them to rescue Li Shenrune.
After all, there are still three or five miles away from this battlefield, and it is impossible to be so quick and accurate to rely on the command flag and the herald to transmit information.
By the time Li Jiancheng arrived, Li Shenfu had already been defeated, and if he was slowing down, he was afraid that he would have to collect the corpse.
A thousand heavy armored cavalry, not much, but for 20,000 foot soldiers, it is already a lot, not to mention that after the battle, Li Shenfu's men only had 156, 156,000 foot soldiers, and they lost one or two thousand when they were charged back and forth by the cavalry, and the key was that the formation was still destroyed, and Luo Shixin on the hillside did not hesitate to lead people to kill.
Luo Shixin belongs to the fierce general, he himself does not like to simply stay in command, he has felt very aggrieved in the past two days, seeing the beginning of the counterattack, once again showing his fierce demeanor, one person and one shot, where there are more people to rush.
Kill! Kill! Kill! This is Luo Shixin's only thought, he is very satisfied that he chose to be a general here in Zou Yu, because there are non-stop wars here, unlike the previous bandits, running around, killing all ordinary people, as well as some leaders who do not enter the stream, often as soon as they go, others will run, and if they can't run, they will surrender, and as soon as they leave, they will rebel again, and so on, more time is running on the road, and there is no end time, and people feel numb.
The cavalry charged back and forth twice, and all the foot soldiers were scattered, not to mention the three or four thousand men who rushed down the hillside, and their task was to pursue and kill the rout.
Li Jiancheng's face was quite bad, because he found that although the cavalry he led was elite enough, compared to the guy on the opposite side who couldn't even see his face, it seemed that the gap was too big. Glancing at the swords and guns of the cavalry under his command, I really don't know if I can hurt the opponent, but I just come here, and if I don't block the opponent, the ending of the main army in the middle can be imagined. Even if there are only 1,000 people on the opposite side, it is enough to turn the formation of tens of thousands of foot soldiers upside down.
